48 – Departure
Even though it seemed like it had been going on for quite some time, the dungeon had no intention of ending.
After clearing the road a few more times where formidable monsters and demons were teeming with bees, a huge plaza appeared in front of the warrior party.
The party of warriors stood tall in a huge space that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
In the center of the plaza, a huge dimensional movement magic circle with complex formulas was installed.
Everyone could instinctively know that this was the end of the dungeon, the destination they had been searching for.
The size of the dimension shifting magic circle was well over 10 meters.
When the warrior party came near the magic circle, demons came down from the sky flapping their wings.
Two pairs of creepy wings wrapped in a film, black scales standing upright, neck bones so thick that a knife couldn’t be properly inserted, and sharp teeth and claws were visible.
“…. The dimensional barrier in Middle-earth is still intact.”
Scarlett saw the demon and said.
“It must be a tough battle for a demon with two pairs of wings with an intact mind.”
After Seir nodded and answered, the demons approached the warrior party.
On top of the wide plaza, the demons looked over the warrior party.
Unlike the blurry demons I’ve seen before, his eyes were as sharp as sharp blades.
– Have the humans come all this way already?
The demon’s voice echoed through the cave.
– Nice to meet you.
– I am a member of Andromalius’ family. I took part in over 30 expeditions to capture Middle-earth.
With an intoxicating expression, the demon looked down at the warrior party.
– If I kill you with the holy sword, it will help Andromalius occupy this middle-earth.
– Die.
A fist containing concentrated demonic energy descended toward Robert.
Quaaang.
When Robert’s holy sword collided with the demon’s fist, a strong shock sound rang out.
Scarlett’s shield was shattered by the impact, and Aneis’ arrows could not pierce the demon’s scales.
– Good.
The demon raised both arms and blew his whole body.
Seir hurriedly bestowed various blessings on Robert. Lena moved behind the demon to take advantage of her gap, and Kim raised her smartphone and invested all the points she had accumulated into Robert’s stats.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
“Big…”
I felt the pain as if my forearms were being burned, but there was no time to groan as the demons immediately attacked again.
Lena charged behind her with her leg shields and buffs on.
Spinning round and round while avoiding her Demon’s attack, Lena approached and stabbed her sword into her Demon’s eye with great speed.
– Hmm.
Even though it must have been a very painful situation, the demons were calm.
At the spot where Lena’s sword had been inserted and then pulled back, pale blood was leaking, mixed with her bodily fluids.
– I’ll have to deal with you guys first.
Obviously the other party members realized that it was dangerous, as if the demons were blinking, they moved at high speed.
Puck.
Seria, who was giving various blessings from behind, was kicked by her Demon’s feet and flew away.
Robert chased after his demon like chasing a cockroach that ran away at a fast pace, but the demon was too fast.
*
Even from Kim’s point of view, the demons she met this time were not normal bets.
No matter how much demons you have with two pairs of wings, you are dealing with all of the warrior party members alone.
‘No. What is this world..? He’s not a demon king, but he’s a dimensional movement magic circle gatekeeper. Why are you so strong?’
‘And you’re aiming for the healer and wizard behind you? I don’t think it was like that in the original…’
Kim’s expression darkened as she hid in the corner with expensive stealth scrolls and artifacts.
The speed at which the warrior party members, exhausted from the long dungeon expedition, fell down and got back up gradually slowed down.
*
“Keuk.”
While sending the man with the holy sword away, the pink-haired woman slashed her sword from behind again.
If it hadn’t been for the interference of others, it would have been destroyed long ago.
‘They are tired people.’
Turning around, grabbing the pink haired head and throwing it to the floor, the man with the holy sword came in again with a slash.
The demon was hit with holy power and magic and lost its balance and fell to the floor.
As the holy sword hit the head, the demon’s temple bones were shattered.
It felt like I was wringing my head from the stabbing pain.
I could see the swordsmen approaching from behind, looking for an opening.
From noble mtl dot com.
‘I’ve been through this situation several times.’
The demons, whose scales were pulled up, rushed to those who used holy power and magic, receiving all attacks with their bodies.
Quick.
Seir, who lacked holy power due to a long dungeon expedition, was beaten by the demon’s fist and flew away.
‘Even if Robert and Lena come running, it will be too late.’
It was impossible to evade from the moment the demons showed up after evading the two of them.
Scarlett raised her shield as much as possible in preparation for the upcoming demon attack.
‘Because Seir’s blessing remains. I can stop it, let’s try.’
I gathered the strength I had left as a spare. A shield made of a density that was incomparable to that used so far blocked the front.
Whoops!
However, at that moment, something dark began to dwell in the demon’s forearms.
At the same time, the demon’s forearm swelled twice as much, and the speed accelerated tremendously, hitting the shield.
Kwaaang!
The ground was taken down centering on the regime that the demons pushed out.
Scarlett’s body pierced the wall behind her and pushed her backwards.
Scarlett broke into a cold sweat as she sensed her shield, which was gradually being destroyed.
One line. Two lines. Three lines. Four lines…
Cracks began to crack on the shield centered on the demon’s fist.
‘The shield that infused most of the mana… Has never been broken before.’
The concentration of blows from the demons was stronger than any other attack Scarlett had ever experienced.
‘This is dangerous.’
Clink!
Scarlett’s consciousness cut off as she looked at her fist digging into the shield.
Robert, who doubted his strangely strong physical ability, slashed and ran.
‘To change the trajectory of that demon’s fist…’
Spinning his body and mana, he jumped up.
As soon as the rapidly stacked sword steel was hit in the head, the demon stopped moving for a moment.
The sword strike that split the demon with two pairs of wings that was mentally unstable.
Unsurprisingly, I pushed the demon’s body all the way back and only cut out the bones and flesh of its head.
‘Still, I’m glad I changed the trajectory of my fist.’
The demon didn’t even care about such an injury and immediately jumped at Robert and started attacking.
After Lena poured the potion on Sayre and Scarlet, she joined right away.
‘It’s not complete, but I should use that skill.’
“Lena, could you buy me a minute?”
“Okay. I won’t last long.”
While Lena dealt with her demons for a while, Robert focused his mind with the holy sword raised.
Then, the blade of the holy sword was overlaid with divine power, and the energy spreading from my body grew stronger and stronger.
Ziing!
My arms were tingling. I felt a powerful divine power being charged.
My feet shuddered and a mighty aura began to rage around me like a storm.
Koo Goo Goo Palace.
The atmosphere shuddered. The wind roared and gathered around the Holy Sword, and a whirlwind began to swirl around me.
– This guy.
The demon tried to jump in to interfere with Robert, but Lena blocked it by clenching her teeth.
Pop. Perong. Chiying. Fire.
Kim also took her scrolls out of her inventory at random and tore them to buy her time.
– Quit.
The demon’s skin was frozen, burned, and cracked by the magic contained in the scroll.
While the demons were hesitant, Robert was concentrating on maintaining his form while gathering the divine power of his whole body to the end.
It’s impossible to use in actual combat as it’s never been used, but it maintains the shape of a giant sword with an absurd sense of genius.
Koo-goo-goo-goo.
The sword, which was made up of huge divine power, was now unrefined and was splashing holy power in all directions like a rampage.
At first, the size of the blade, which was about 5 meters, gradually increased, and now it has changed to a blade of divine power that is 30 meters long.
Even then, it continued to grow as if it were filling up the square of a huge dungeon.
Padding support weave.
Although Robert did not directly hold the sword of great divine power, it seemed that the blade was clearly floating on his fingertips.
The face of the Asmodian, who was momentarily caught by the scroll magic, was stained with astonishment.
– No. What is this?
Robert thought the name and shape of this technique were very suitable.
“Punishment.”
Muttering the name of the skill, Robert slowly swung the sword of divine power that had grown to the point of piercing the ceiling of the dungeon.
Quaaang!
After the divine power surged, a cloud of dust rose.
The Demons who were forced to endure were melted and destroyed by the divine power, and part of the dungeon collapsed.
The sound of rolling stones echoed everywhere, and the party members who had risen into the air in shock fell to the ground.
Because it was an attack with holy power, there was no direct damage to the other party members, but the aftermath struck the warrior party members as they were.
She was unable to move due to the accumulated damage except for Kim, who had various treasures wrapped around her body.
Kim moved her party as she looked at the auditorium, which was in ruins as if a meteorite had fallen on her.
